Join Us At TGCLA with Jared Wilson on April 19th!

Jared Wilson (author of The Pastor's Justification and Your Jesus Is Too Safe) will join us to speak on two topics close to his heart: pastors enjoying the gospel personally and churches enjoying the gospel corporately.  We'll hear from Jared in two sessions, followed by a time of Q&A over lunch.

This event is free for TGCLA members, and $15 at the door for non-members.  Lunch and snacks will be provided.  Click here to register.  Click here to learn about becoming a member!

Who is Jared Wilson?

Jared Wilson is the Director of Content Strategy for Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and Managing Editor of For The Church, Midwestern's site for gospel-centered resources. He has written several books.  Jared is not a catalytic "agent of change" or a visionary anything. He is a failed church planter and once made a mess of his marriage. He likes food too much and worries way too much about what people think, and he's definitely not all that he's cracked up to be. After 20 years of ministry, he's mainly learned that he's kind of a nincompoop. But he knows Jesus loves him.

Endorsement

"I’m embarrassed to admit how often I’ve found myself listening to the siren song of "ministry success” (whatever that means) or finding my significance wrapped up in the fickle god of weekend attendance. I suspect I’m not alone. That’s why I’m thankful for Jared Wilson. To my desire for “ministry success”, Jared has reminded me that the power for ministry isn’t in programs, the “weekend experience" or rockin' worship sets. The power is in the proclamation of the gospel. As Jared often writes, “what you win them with is what you win them to” and if we’re not winning them with the gospel, we’re not winning them at all. To my need for significance, Jared’s writings have taken me back again and again to (as he says) the well of “gospel deeps” helping me see how the gospel isn’t just good news for the pagan sinner, but for this insecure pastor." 
-Chris Lewis, Pastor at Foothill Church
